• A ₹5,000 penalty is levied
• You won’t be allowed to sign forms on behalf of a company/LLP

You can check the status of your DIN on the MCA Portal under the “Verify DIN Status” service.

Only DINs in Approved status are eligible to file KYC. If your DIN is disqualified or deactivated, it must be reactivated by paying the penalty and filing the required forms.

DIN cancellation can only happen under specific conditions:
